The Future of School Choice in Alabama Starts Now

May 28, 2026

Our Director of Implementation and Operations, Tonya Jones recently joined Homeschool Yo Kids to break down the differences between the Alabama Accountability Act and the CHOOSE Act — and how these programs impact homeschool and private school families across the state.


From homeschool families accessing up to $2,000 per student to expanding scholarship opportunities for private school students, Alabama’s education landscape is changing quickly.


The conversation also tackles common myths about tax credits and school funding, because parents deserve facts, not confusion.

As Alabama moves toward a universal school choice model by 2027, one thing is clear: parent knowledge matters more than ever.


Thank you to Homeschool Yo Kids for creating space for these important conversations and helping families stay informed about their educational options in Alabama.

Parents don't change schools because they enjoy starting over. Changing schools can mean new routines, new teachers, new classmates and a whole new adjustment for a child. So when families make that decision, it's worth asking what is driving them to look for something different. Recent survey data from EdChoice and the National School Choice Awareness Foundation provide some answers. Together, the findings offer a clearer picture of what families experience when a school isn't meeting their child's needs and what they are looking for in a new educational environment.
